Daily Musings with Allysia
Join me Monday-Friday where I muse on books, personal development, and whatever happens to catch my interest, all with the joy of sharing ideas in this strange and short life. Daily Musings can also be found on YouTube. Allysia is a rock musician, entrepreneur, piano teacher, writer, mother and chef (among other things). She runs an online business and YouTube channel (PianoTV), is working on her second album, has self-published on Amazon, and reads voraciously. This podcast and YouTube channel was created to share ideas and thoughts on the many things that catch her interest.
Take the evening off! (musings on happiness)
In today's episode, I discuss one new goal for the spring quarter (Q2). It's simple, probably obvious, but enormously satisfying - take the evenings off! Put the work (or schoolwork) away and just enjoy life. What a concept, right? :)
Catch me on allyvb.com.
I released an album! (Dear Disaster)
After two long years, I released my second album under The Criminal Kid. It's been over a decade since TCK's first album. Unsurprisingly, this one is a departure - in no small part because it's a solo effort as opposed to a full band thing (though I collaborated with talented musicians.)
You can find information on the album here (including where to stream/purchase it):

Thanks for listening!
Musical Entrepreneurship with David Roman
In the first interview I've ever done on this channel, I have a conversation with my long-time friend and fellow entrepreneur David Roman. He runs Roman Empire Studios, where he does all kinds of audio projects for people, including mastering the tracks on my upcoming album. He's also a great musician and producer! Check out his project Femme Fragile and new single "Bitter": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_w6P9AP5ho
This episode is part of a longer conversation, which you can check out over on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjUGPhstpT8
...University update: I used to be a terrible student.
In today's episode, I share some updates on how university is going for me, and reflect on my previous challenges with school (notably, how terribly I did in high school). I share some tips for how to manage myriad responsibilities, and how to be a good student on top of it all. Enjoy!

I read 60 books this year! These were my favorites.
For the last 6ish years, I've made the goal to read 52 books a year because I love reading. This habit has enriched my life in more ways than I can count, and I expect to read voraciously the rest of my life. Enjoy, and happy new year!
